Triplets at Play

Minstrel's goat kids are three days old now, and they're really starting to get playful, especially when the sun comes out. I just love watching them jump around and explore and learn to climb. They are astonishingly adorable, and so far Minstrel's mothering skills have been exemplary. We will give the kids an injection of selenium to help with muscle growth and energy, as well as a vaccine for tetanus within the next week. After another two or three weeks, we'll try to separate the kids from their mom for a few hours each day so that we can milk Minstrel out completely. This keeps her milk production high and allows us to have some of her amazing milk.
